Chapter 861: I expected this to be a protracted battle
This collision between Daijun and Youzhou can be said to have been expected by all parties for a long time, so almost every one of the surrounding forces has sent its own spies all over Youzhou, many of which are concentrated around Daijun.
However, what they never expected was that the conflict would eventually take place in Pham Duong County.
At the same time, the progress of several other armies from Youzhou, as well as the blockage of the Daijun side, the movement of this soldier, almost every change will attract news from many spies, and these news seem to fall into the already undercurrent surging river, rippling ripples, and quickly evolve into torrential waves, spreading in all directions.
In addition to Wang Jun of the Youzhou Army as the parties concerned, and Chen Zhi, the military officer of Daijun, these two power groups, there are some people who can be said to have gotten the news for the first time.
However, due to the limitations of geography and transportation conditions, these people get different information.
In the northernmost part, with the attack of Qipin Xianbei, and then the Yuwen Ministry had to retreat unexpectedly, and then there was a conflict with the border generals in the north of Youzhou, and the two sides fell into a confrontation, and the news immediately spread to the Murong Department and the Tuoba Department.
"The two sides are finally hit, but I didn't expect that in the end, Wang Jun would use the people of the Yuwen Department to make a detour from the grassland!"
In the city lord's mansion of Murong Thorn City, Murong Diao revealed the news to the three of them with his brother Murong Yun and his sons Murong Hao and Murong Ren.
These three people, one is his brother, leaning on his right-hand man, and he even fled for his life together when he was a teenager, and now Murong is gradually rising, and the general trend is at the top, and his brother's position has gradually become prominent.
As for the two sons, they are both favored by Murong Diao, and the two are brothers of the same mother, and they usually have a close relationship, both of them show good martial arts strategy and resourcefulness, and they are regarded as successors by Murong Diao, they are both inspecting, and they are usually entrusted with important tasks.
They are all smart people, after hearing the news, Murong Ren was the first to speak up: "The child thinks that this North Road army is just a lead and bait, in order to let Daijun divide the troops, although this road army has encountered setbacks, it cannot determine the situation in Youzhou this time!" ”
Murong Diao nodded.
That Murong Yun, the uncle, laughed and boasted: "What the millennium said is quite accurate, there is still news here, you don't know yet, in fact, this time Wang Jun has mobilized many troops, there must be more than one way, just the path we have mastered, there are two armies, of which the north road is mainly based on the Yuwen Department, and it is temporarily retreating at the moment, and further south, there are Wang Chang and Ruan Bao two people leading the army, leading the army directly to Daixian and Dangcheng!" It's just the news of this way, we don't know for the time being. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly patted his head, looked at Murong Diao and said, "Brother, it's okay to say this." ”
"You've said it all, do you only remember to keep it secret now?" Murong Diao scolded with a smile, but whether it was him or his two sons, they knew very well that the news would not even be stopped in a few days, and everyone knew it, so it was not a secret, otherwise Murong Yun would not have revealed it so casually.
Still playing Murong Yun, Murong Diao waved his hand and changed the conversation to the front: "Okay, what is going on here, in fact, we don't have to care too much, the key is to predict that in this battle of Youzhou, who can win, how much impact will it have on our Murong Ministry, and how much benefit can we get from it?" ”
"Even if they don't distinguish between victory and defeat, we have a profit to find," Murong Hao spoke at this time, he squinted slightly, looking confident, and then without waiting for others to ask, he took the initiative to say: "Actually, from the temporary retreat of the soldiers and horses of the Yuwen Department this time, it can be seen that these two sides are facing a protracted war!" His tone was very affirmative, and his eyes revealed a sparkle of light.
Murong Ren's brows furrowed slightly, and Murong Yun nodded slightly.
Murong Diao remained silent, and just asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Murong Hao said unhurriedly: "Although the men and horses of the Yuwen Department have suffered setbacks, they have not really been defeated, and they are not Wang Jun's headquarters soldiers and horses, the real core of Youzhou is actually Wang Jun's headquarters, and the Duan Department attached to it, if the soldiers and horses of the headquarters under Wang Jun's command, especially the Duan Division, attacked, and were ambushed by the soldiers of Daijun halfway, and then suffered a big defeat and defeat, the whole army was scattered, and there was no need for any generals to be captured, the war between Nadai County and Youzhou may end soon, but the reality is not like this......"
Murong Ren said at this time: "I see, the Yuwen Department is not considered to be Wang Jun's lineage, this retreat is only temporary, as long as it is repaired, it will soon be able to return to the battlefield, then the seven-rank Xianbei ......" When he said this word, his face showed a look of disgust, "This group of rabble is actually not a problem, they themselves took refuge in Chen Zhi because of the defeat, and many small departments are united, what combat power can they have?" If it weren't for taking advantage of the sneak attack this time, I wouldn't have thought about how much impact it would have on the Yuwen Ministry, maybe the reason why we were able to achieve results was because of our relationship with the Murong Ministry. ”
Speaking later, he meant something.
The people present knew that there were rumors recently that it was Murong Han, the eldest son of Murong Diao's concubine, who was idle in Daijun and sometimes went to Qipin Xianbei to practice and lead, Murong Ren's words actually implied that this attack was very likely to be led by Murong Han.
However, Murong Hao didn't like it very much, he was originally analyzing, but as a result, this half-brother suddenly interjected, disrupting his rhythm and not saying, now he vaguely mentioned Murong Han, looking at it as a joke, but in fact, the purpose behind it is not pure.
"Now in the eyes of my father Khan, I am undoubtedly the best candidate for succession, and the other brothers can't compete, but the millennium is a threat, but he also knows that he is alone, so he wants to get the eldest brother back and cause trouble for me!"
Murong Diao didn't seem to see the thoughts of the two sons, he just listened to the analysis, nodded slowly, and then asked, "Then how can our Murong Department find benefits?" That Daijun was also helpful to us before, the relationship between the two sides is good, and we can't tear the skin, and Wang Jun's side is also huge, the battle situation is Youzhou, Pingzhou, there is a geographical trend, and there is the support of the Central Plains, although our Murong has risen, but we have not sorted out the tribes, it still takes time to integrate the interior, and we can't send troops to interfere at this time. ”
Murong Hao was about to answer, but Murong Ren preemptively said: "In this matter, the child already has a plan in his heart, he can get benefits without spending a single soldier, and he can also make that Wang Jun have nothing to say!" As for what Chen Shouyi thinks, it doesn't matter. ”
